Slavia Prague Women opened their third regular season fixture with a comprehensive 9-0 victory over Horní Heršpice at home on Friday evening. The result leaves the hosts top of the 1. Liga table with nine points from three games, while the visitors remain winless at the bottom of the standings. Kateřina Cvrčková led the scoring with three goals, but the performance was a collective affair from start to finish.
And here's the thing — the goals came in waves rather than a steady stream. Kateřina Dubcová opened the scoring in the second minute, and Kateřina Cvrčková doubled the lead six minutes later. Denisa Veselá found the net at the 19-minute mark before Lucie Kroupová made it four before the interval. By then, Horní Heršpice had already gone behind by three goals.
The second half brought further reinforcement for the hosts. Denisa Veselá added her second goal in the 40th minute, and Barbora Polcarová crossed the threshold in the 41st. Three substitutions came simultaneously at the break — Martina Planíčková, Eva Kozlová, and Lenka Bendová — bringing fresh legs into the game. Kateřina Cvrčková completed her hat-trick in the 53rd minute before Kateřina Dubcová added her second in the 79th.
To be fair, the statistics tell a straightforward story. Slavia Prague Women had possession in most areas of the pitch, while Horní Heršpice struggled to maintain any shape beyond their own penalty area. The yellow cards told their own tale — Tereza Ruslerová was cautioned in the 52nd minute for the visitors, while Kateřina Cvrčková and Daniela Práks received bookings late on for the hosts. Not that those matters matter much when the scoreboard reads nine goals.
The result extends Slavia Prague Women's unbeaten run to four matches across all competitions. They had drawn 1-1 with Brøndby and lost 1-2 to Rangers Women in European fixtures earlier this month, but the 6-0 victory over Baník Ostrava Women last weekend showed their domestic form. Horní Heršpice, meanwhile, have not won since May — their last victory came against Viktoria Plzeň Women in a 3-0 result three months ago.
